Once again - give them time. Vue already have a way to expand its functionnality through Python scripts and I have seen someone on CG Talk mention python scripts for particles. e-on is now working closely with guys like ILM. These studios like to experiment with their own ways of doing dynamics systems, shaders, and so on... I am sure the pressure will grow to get a full SDK for plugins into vue. You can't just take any program and make it 'plugin capable'. Support of plugins take a significant amount of internal rewrite. So I suppose they prefered to work on performance, competitive features and improvements for this time around instead of a plugin system. I can imagine the screams if they released a $299 upgrade for a version that does nothing new but includes a SDK for developers to make new plugins... that people would have to pay extra for. I take spectral atmospheres right now instead of plugins later anytime...
